Open AccessInverse remodelling algorithm identifies habitual manual activities of primates based on metacarpal bone architecture
Previously, a micro-finite element (micro-FE)-based inverse remodelling method was presented in the literature that reconstructs the loading history of a bone based on its architecture alone. Despite promising...
